UPDATE August 29, 2022:
The colt was left at the front gate of the owners’ farm – dead.
Retaliation?
We’re not sure, because we do NOT know all that went on with this story, but we do know that no matter what it’s not right that a horse was stolen and either not cared for well enough that it passed, or was intentionally killed.
NOTE: Horse theft does happen, PLEASE take a few minutes right now and look into what options are available in your area, should you have a horse stolen.
PLEASE have good clear, recent photos of your horses from all angles, and if there is a brand inspector in your area, have their number handy even if your horse is NOT branded.
In the wee hours of Sunday morning August 21, 2022 a 3-week-old colt was stolen from Goff Farms – between Cobalt and North Cobalt in Temiskaming Shores, Ontario, Canada.
Owner Amanda Tomson is offering a reward for his safe return but as every hour passes she is worried for his survival as he can’t live much longer without his mother’s milk.
Again, this colt was left 8 days later at the front gate of the owners’ farm, dead.

Some of the meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is shipped to the European Union and other markets, including Japan.
The barbaric slaughter of horses is currently not legal in the United States, BUT horses, including pets and ex-racehorses, from the United States are shipped to Canada and to Mexico to be slaughtered.
In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan, to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air, is far from humane.

KEYBOARD WARRIORS ARE INCREDIBLY VALUABLEI often have people tell me they wish they could do more, that they don’t own horses, that they “only” advocate via networking, and their key board. So as I was reading the following post by Wendy Thomson, I was thinking about...

Stolen Horse Sold for Hamburger
This story is definitely re-post worthy. This story is a reminder to all of us in Canada who live within a days drive of where slaughter plants are in Alberta, or Quebec, about how easy it would be for any of our horses to be snatched and slaughtered before we even...
